Thanks again Sgt. Joey. I guess you are not comfortable with a ‘Sir’ which is commonly used by salesmen these days. Sgt. Joey sounds energetic and would probably make you feel younger.

I am not one of Knights of Rizal, though many of my friends are.

My mother is a collector and seldom throws things. So, you will find a collection of Pan-Am shoulder bags & luggages in our closet including old books (1950s and 60s), which I valued as historical. Wake Island's role as stop-over in the Pacific ended during the advent of Boeng 747 jets which also ended my father's career.

Regarding the 'Bohol Circle Year Book' Photos, I will post a PM to Paul Vistal (a member of Tubag Bohol) who is settled in Bohol and request him to scan it for you. By the way, I believed it was already posted here in Tubag Bohol as this link: http://tubagbohol.mikeligalig.com/index.php?topic=3411.msg18184

I read you mentioned Eddie Israel is your causin. He is still the undesputed city councilor of Tagbilaran. He is an editor and a writer. One of his projects is to write a genealogy of the Sarmiento family being himself as part of this family. My mother was sort of involved being a distant Sarmiento relative to Eddie. I was young then and this book was not materialized, though we have some of the original manuscript. Probably making it these days would be much easier with internet accessibility. However, I believe it would still be a great task being the first Sarmiento is a womanizer with four wives.

Angie...what's inun-unan nga tulingan in english?...joey

Hello Kuya Joey...I don't know what's in English...it's like adobong fish...people cook it in different ways....with vinegar and/or soy sauce, garlic and ground pepper and salt, water....but I have my own recipe from my deceased Nanay..

Mrs B:)...the next time Mrs Loida Nicolas Lewis sends me an invite to one of her hundreds of dollars a plate dinners for Mrs Clinton, I'll send it over to you if she bothers to send me another one since I have not taken her up on any of the invites, mainly since i couldn't afford to go even if i wanted to. Plus I am no longer a member of NaFFAA, a pet project of hers.

I'm not too comfortable with Hilary's ties to Wall St. Hillary has been a surprisingly excellent Sen for NY tho i did not vote for her the 1st time around thinking she was a reverse carpetbagger. I'm sure if she wins, and that is still a good probability considering who's behind her, she will offer the VPship to Barak. I just wonder if he would accept? I don't think she would if he offered...joey

sgt.joey, believe it or not my husband was one of the volunteers when Hiliary ran for Sen.the first time in NYC. After that not anymore. He was a little bit disappointed when they didn't send him any thank you note or somethin after what he had done. He sent them email and they apologized. But that didn't stop him from liking her maybe because of her experienced in politics for many years now, not to forget her foreign policy experienced as well. As for the tickets, thank you for the thoughts but we're like you, not too crazy about those dinners. We actually got one the last time she ran for her 2nd term few years ago.
I didn't say I don't like Barak, like most people said, he's very likable, charming and very well in public speaking. But still 2 years in politics, I don't know. And also I was surprised to see Chicago as his state, he's got a pretty low support there.
I agree, I don't think Hiliary will accept if Barak will offer VPship to her.
Well see, as what Yogi said, it ain't over 'till it's over.
You're right we have to get going, exercise. When we're in Shelter Island, we love to walk especially right along the water. It's so calming and peaceful. We could walk for miles and miles and rest in one of the beach area.
We're not really that far from Greenwood Lake airport, I call it the airport for the rich. It's pretty small only for small private planes like what Derek Jetter of the NY Yankees are using whenever he takes to one of his home here.
That's right I type a lot, wherever my husband is sitting whether reading newspaper in the sunroom, watching tv in the tvroom, or reading a book in bed, I bring my laptop with me just to let him know, I'm not going anywhere. He seems to like the idea. And he's happy when he sees me I enjoyed what I do, can't get any better than that.

Macky...like i said, 'i work for a living!' Energetic yes. Younger, I doubt it. If the wife has her way, i'll die at my part time job with my boots on. She's seen too many really retire and in less than a year were dead. Salespersons, as well as politicians, will say anything to get you to by something, whether or not you need it.

I doubted you were an English knight so Knights of Rizal was a better pun guess, no offense to your many friends who are. I once was in a play at NYU when i was still in HS where i played a boy who visits Rizal in prison the night before he was executed. I realize that acting was not my forte.

Actually Wake Is role as a scheduled stopover ended with the 707 long before the 747 came out. While maintained by Pan Am as an alternate and emergency landing field, that died with the death of Pan Am. The USAF has since maintained it for the same purpose. However, most of the jobs left there are contracted out to civilian entities, including that of the weather. Many of those contract workers are still Filipino.

That article in the TANOCAL silver album is posted on our family website with Rene's permission. But I would have utang na loob to you and Paul for any other info you may be able to scan and send to me about my family there in Bohol.

I am glad that someone holds Eddie in such esteem so I will no say anything else. Eddie is married to my cousin Ruby nee Pelias. I know that the Sarmientos are one of those elite families there in Bohol. I wonder if they would have given my father the time of day had he not been able to be one of the early Boholanos to get to America in a respectable job.

With such historic material, if it is not in your interest, it should be made available to those reputable historians who would pursue it's publication with the good as well as the bad included provided it can be verified. There is way too much garbage and disinformation on the internet today.

Only 4 wives? I knew a man who was reputed to not only have wives, but children too, in almost every major town in Bohol. How much of that was macho bragging is hard to tell since he himself never admitted to that me. I just heard it from others, some who did not like him tho I did and still admire him.

I was amused by what I saw there in Bohol where Catholic priests had wives and children. Better than the child molesters here in the US who should have been shot on sight or burned at the stake and not hidden away by their bishops...joey

B:)...I believe your husband was one of the volunteers when Hiliary ran for Sen.the first time in NYC. With the likes of Loida Nicolas Lewis backing her, many Fil Ams flocked to her support. Loida for those who don't know who she is, is one of the richest Fil Ams in the US. Tho we are well acquainted and know and like each other, she is way out of my social class.

Loida hired me as a volunteer to be her webmaster in NaFFAA Eastern Region where she was the Regional Chair in 1999. She later appointed me as the volunteer Deputy Director for Information Management for NaFFAA National when she became National Chair in 2004. That's how I ended up as a NaFFAA delegate as a NaFFAA National officer to the 3rd Global Filipino Networking Conference held in Cebu in Jan 2005 which gave me the opportunity to visit Bohol again since 1972.

To say Hilary has foreign policy experience is like saying Barack only has 2 years in politics. Obama had been involved in local Chicago politics since 1985 after he graduated from Columbia University, and in IL state politics after he went on to earn his law degree from Harvard in 1991, where he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, then ran for the Illinois State Senate and served for eight years.

With Barach as one of the IL Senators to the US Senate since 2004, I don't know where you got that info that he's got a pretty low support there, especially in Chicago. He never would have been elected US Senator from IL if he did not have the majority support particularly in Chicago. That's another state Hillary WILL loose to Barack!

Exercise is only half the battle. You have to watch what you eat. Many of our Filipino foods are some of the worst things for a healthy diet. There's way too much starch, fat, salt and sugar especially in fried foods, like fried banana which i love to eat. :'( Tho Yogi may not have coined this, it sounds like he did: You are what you eat! (The nutritionist Victor Lindlahr coined the phrase in English in 1942.)

These days, any airport is for the rich, especially with the cost of avgas and maintenance. I had dreams of flying as a little kid riding back and forth in aircraft from NYC to Bohol every 2 years from the time i was born til i turned 18, courtesy of the UN. That dream to fly sort of came true in the back of the WC-130 as an aerial weather observer or meteorological technician courtesy of the USAF. I am now the Membership Chair of the AWRA veterans org.

I have paid with my obsession with computers since I was in a HS computer course in 1967 with a condition called trigger finger. Half of my fingers have needed minor ambulatory operations to fix this condition, which really started when my dad forced me to learn to type on a manual typewriter when i was in 1st grade. That skill helped him get his job in the UN.

I got my own personal laptop as a retirement present in 2004. In 2006, my son, who works for NJ Verizon got me a WLAN card for free. It basically gives me broadband access anywhere i go with my laptop thru the cell phone towers. The more signal bars, the faster the connection. This past holidays, my present was a newer free EVDO Rev A card that is even faster yet less drain on the batteries/power source.

Since our P3 desktop is more older and slower than my now aging P4 Centrino laptop, my wife will think nothing of throwing me off my laptop to do her email. Tho she is the family CFO, i am the clerk who does most of the electronic bill paying at her direction. We hardly ever write checks anymore.  When i begged for a new duel-core pentium laptop from santa, she asked whats wrong with the one you got? I told her it was old and slow. She said so are you; a perfect match :(...joey

I was asked by Mike that he wishes to know more about me so I thought I'd put it in this thread where it's supposed to go. Been into computers since HS, online since the early 80s at work with the NWS and at home since the late 80s with the now defunct GENIE network. My CV pretty much covers my work life. Click the links for the details.

My parents and grandparents were all from the barrios of Tagbilaran. My dad came to NYC to work for the UN in 46, my mom in 47. Since dad worked for the UN, he had home leave privileges back then which allowed the whole family to go back to Bohol almost every 2 years during summer vacation til each kid turned 18 until the old man retired.

The last time I did that was in 67. But while I was stationed on Guam with the USAF, I took an R&R leave to Bohol in 72. After I retired from the NWS in 04, I finally got a chance to go back to Bohol in Feb 05, since I was a NaFFAA delegate to the 3rd Global Filipino Networking Con held in Cebu during the last week of Jan 05.

I just became a lolo for the 4th time. Click on Connor's pic for more pics. I got 3 kids. My baby pinay princess daughter still lives with me. My older son was a web designer during the .com bubble and when it went bust, he went to work for Verizon stringing fiber. My middle son was everything from a commercial fisherman, contractor to now a sou chef in a restaurant in Manhattan that I can't afford to eat at.

My wife's family is from Lubang, Occ Mindoro and she's been here in NYC since she was 8. Her dad retired from the US Navy as a CPO. Most of her siblings are here in the US except for one in Australia. She has no desire to go back to the RP other than for a vacation. She still is working as a Sr Manager for a large private radiology group here on Long Island, NY where we own a house in Ronkonkoma.

I'm also on Facebook, Friendster and Myspace, tho I hardly log into the last 2 social networks anymore. Other than my part time job on most weekends and babysitting my grand-daughter Mon thru Thu, I do volunteer computer and web work for a few NGOs, non-profits and veterans orgs. I am the Admin for the Metro NY Chapter of FANHS.

My laptops has a WLAN card my son got me from his job at Verizon so anywhere I go with it, I have broadband access to the internet, even in a car, train or plane. I haven't figured out how to do it while I'm riding my bicycle but I'm working on it. You might say I'm a semi-retired geek...joey

Mr Tabaco, I realize that you live quite close to me. If you're around the Willingboro area, then you might know where Williamstown is. That is where I am from. Congratulations on becoming a Lolo!!

Nice hearing you again Sgt. Joey and thanks for adding me into your friendster. Those guys with me at Christmas bon fire photos were all American airmen working in a private company. Their job is to do test flights of F-15s, F-16 Falcon, whatever they name it. They are bragging too much about technical things which are beyond my comprehension. The bottom line is they are like human test dummies. Their wives are filipinas, thats why we are close.

I have seen your post to B:), I also thought of buying WLan card which is cheap in our place, at only $27, pre-paid one month unlimited use, with 100mbps speed which is OK enough just for browsing. I wonder if this can be hooked to a Wi-fi so I can share it with my friends and we share the cost. I am now interested with internet, with its practical applications. Unlike in the 90’s where they have this concept of incorporating internet to a microwave oven or to the refrigerator, which is the silliest idea I’ve ever heard. Even I am not sold to having an internet in the car. It is worst than drunk driving.

We are not too close either with the Sarmientos in Tagbilaran due to their elitist attitude. I may assume Eddie dropped this genealogy project due to this reason.

As I have said, you got the style of Bob Hope and I am very much entertained, more than listening to Frasier or Jerry Seinfield.

Lorenzo...I live in Ronkonkoma, NY, half way out to Montauk Point from NYC on Long Island. My son Jon lives in Moorestown just off NJ73. My newest gkid Connor was born in the hospital up in Willingboro. That's where the profile pic was taken. Jon works for NJ Verizon and is one of the folks stringing fiber thru your hood. He was trying to buy a house nearer to you off the White Horse Pike US30 before the mortgage meltdown.

When I attended a FAHNS event at the Cebu Restaurant in Philly, I was told there is a Filipino Center for southern NJ in your hood somewhere. I think they said it was in Berlin. Your on the south side of the ACY Xway...joey

Hahahaha! Yes, Sir!

Moorestown is not far from where I live, its around the Cherry Hill area, no more than 20-30 minutes from my good ol' Billsville (Williamstown). Its pretty much the same area, super suburbia, lol. Yes, sir, there is a Filipino community here. It is called the "Filipino Association of Williamstown", we had our first annual 'get to gether' in fall of 2005, there is about 100 Filipino families here in Williamstown. There is a larger Filipino association tho that is stationed in Berlin, its known as the South Jersey Filipino Association. I was selected and given a scholarship by them in 2004, one of 10 Filipino high school seniors at the time. Perhaps you know one of the contributors, Dr. Dioscoro Villanueva, M.D. There's alot of Bisayans here in South Jersey, whereas the Filipinos in Northern New Jersey tend to be of the Tagalog and Illocano stock. hahaha

Our locations truly illustrate our regionalism back in the philippines. LOL!

Give my regards to your family and little Connor!!

Another little Pinoy born is a shining star added to our Bisaya family here in New Jersey.

Macky...you're welcome for the friendster add. I started out social networking on myspace since that's what the family kids were on here. Then I hopped on friendster since that's where the extended family kids were on there in the RP. These sites were a bit too adolescent for me until us older folks found facebook which originally was only for college students and faculty then spread as the students graduated from college.

You can even proudly proclaim you are Boholano there on your profile with the My Heritage web app. You older folks and seniors should jump onboard there even tho the kids are switching from myspace and friendster to facebook since it is so much better and cleaner!

I didn't see your photos since it's still a little tuff to navigate here not knowing what all the bisaya words mean. Fighter jocks (jet pilots) are a rare breed where the best braggers are sometimes the best pilots since they essentially fly alone, unlike bomber, transport and us recon crews that fly as a team. F-15s are 'Eagles' but have recently been grounded since they are so old.

There is a big misconception here about Filipina wives since they usually start off more submissive than American women. But, especially once you bring them back here to the US, they quickly become like the American wives next door and take over especially once you have kids. They have to in order to survive here. Otherwise their husbands will become like many of the Filipino husbands who have mistresses and girlfriends, and stop coming home regularly.

My cable fiber connection is 100Mbps which i WIFI to my laptop at speeds of 108Mbps. Ethernet is 1Gbps. Theoretically, my Verizon WLAN with should be T1 at 1.5Mbps but i avg about 115Kbps even with the lastest EVDO Rev A Expresscard I got from santa this year. I had to buy a PCMCIA card adapter for the Expresscard to fit my older laptop.

All this is highly dependent on distance to the cell tower (number of bars) or WIFI router (signal strength %), the traffic at the cell tower server as well as transmission mode like EVDO which manages the radio frequency spectrum. This is all shared bandwidth; the more the number of devices using the connection, the less bandwidth share available.

If you know what you are doing config'ing the OS and can afford or have the proper adapter cards or USB interfaces, routers, switches or modems, you can network any pc thru any connection. I remember in the begining of WIFI where i would steal bandwidth from any unsecured wireless router anywhere i went where one was in range. You can now even get WIFI routers that accept WLAN (cell phone) cards, as well as multiple connections to cable (tv), dsl (landline phone) and/or satellite (tv and pc capable).

I use my WLAN in the car if I not driving otherwise my wife in online as the passenger. Some cars have it built in and bluetooth it to other devices like ipods or xboxes. Since i have bluetooth in my laptop, i cud do that too. WIFI in the house is now used for heating/cooling and alarm/security systems. I also have wanted a weather sensor platform that is WIFI and solar powered in my backyard but can't afford a decent one. The cheaper ones are just toys not gud enuf for a pro weatherman.

My father was supposedly close friends with Alex Sarmiento. Eddie probably dropped this genealogy project due to the lack of cooperation from them not wanting their dirty laundry aired out in public.

Since I am more from the Bob Hope gen than Frasier or Jerry Seinfield, that may be why i sound more like him. My favorite current comedians are Bill Maher and George Carlin. They are honest, straightforward as well as funny to me...joey

Lorenzo...The South Jersey flips actually have a Center, their own bldg there in Berlin from what I was told. Glad to see they are doing more than just ballroom dancing there giving scholarships to youth like you. However, there are so many Bisayans there in North Jersey that they not only have orgs for each province but even each city.

Not only are there 2 major Bohol orgs, chapters of the Bohol Asso and Bohol Circle up there, there is also an org just for Tagbilaranons, that had a Chritmas Party that my wife and many of my bros and sis's went to last month. I couldn't go since i had to work. My wife's family is from Lubang, Occ Mindoro and they have their own org just for the folks from Lubang.

The problem that i and my siblings and our children have with those orgs is that they tend to talk and conduct business in bisaya which leaves me, a tatay, talking to their kids who also don't speak bisaya anymore. Same with my wife's family and orgs, who do it in Tagalog. When their kids were smaller I stopped going to her family get togethers until they made the effort to talk in English, which they were also very fluent in, so I would not feel left out, despite my failed attempts to learn Tagalog.

The Philippine American Center in Jamaica, NYC use to be just the Illocano Center. It now houses FAHSI, the social service org for all Filipinos in greater NYC of which I am a member. Tho they asked me to be a board member, i declined since i am not good in soliciting for funds, the main duty of a board member. I helped set up their computer lab.

There is a saying that anywhere there are 2 flips, they will form an org; if there a 3 flips there will be 2 orgs, the 3rd person being a member of both orgs. Here in the Ronkonkoma area, there are 2 major Fil Am orgs, FAMILLI and Tanglaw both hq'd in the next town over, Holbrook, for all of Suffolk County. I am a member of FAMILII. What this does for Fil Ams is divide and conquer, which does not promote unity for the Fil Am community nationwide.

That's why i joined NaFFAA which is the Natl Federations of Fil Am Assos, but it tended to alienate us multi-gen flips. So i switched to FANHS which is more multi-gen American oriented. But their are also divisions among the age groups which further aggravates disunity in the Fil Am community, so it's hard to get us all together.

Thanx for the regards to Conner, a quarterbred Boholano Fil Am, part of the 4th gen of Tabacos here in the US for over 60 years of the centenial of Fil Ams here in America...joey

That dream to fly sort of came true in the back of the WC-130 as an aerial weather observer or meteorological technician courtesy of the USAF. I am now the Membership Chair of the AWRA veterans org.

I have paid with my obsession with computers since I was in a HS computer course in 1967 with a condition called trigger finger. Half of my fingers have needed minor ambulatory operations to fix this condition, which really started when my dad forced me to learn to type on a manual typewriter when i was in 1st grade. That skill helped him get his job in the UN.

I got my own personal laptop as a retirement present in 2004. In 2006, my son, who works for NJ Verizon got me a WLAN card for free. It basically gives me broadband access anywhere i go with my laptop thru the cell phone towers. The more signal bars, the faster the connection. This past holidays, my present was a newer free EVDO Rev A card that is even faster yet less drain on the batteries/power source.

Since our P3 desktop is more older and slower than my now aging P4 Centrino laptop, my wife will think nothing of throwing me off my laptop to do her email. Tho she is the family CFO, i am the clerk who does most of the electronic bill paying at her direction. We hardly ever write checks anymore.  When i begged for a new duel-core pentium laptop from santa, she asked whats wrong with the one you got? I told her it was old and slow. She said so are you; a perfect match :(...joey

sgt.joey, I didn't let the 2 gordeous day passed by without enjoying outside, it's like a taste of spring. And that's the reason I haven't open my PC. I can't believe I survived a day without pc.
When my husband volunteered, we weren't married yet. And he's not a filipino, he's caucasian, sorry if I didn't tell you before. He's been a big fan of the Clintons. And after knowing about their records, that's when I became to like them as well.
And about Obama, I can't tell now where I got my information. I have read lots of magazines about him like Times, Newsweek, The New Yorker and many others that I couldn't figure out which one of those mentioned it, although you are right, it doesn't make any sense. O well, I might be wrong, sorry.
I would say not only filipino food are very bad for our health but I think almost all kinds. I love to eat cheese and one of my favorite is blue cheese with red wine. But again, my husband and I are very careful. We only eat them occasionally.
About internet connections, we got ours from cablevision. We got their 3 in 1 package - internet, telephone and tv. Then I got a router so I can connect my laptop to WIFI with security locked of course. And then we have verizon wireless for our mobile. But we didn't know this before that verizon are not the same as verizon wireless. We always thought, it's all one company.

B:)...I actually went out for my 1/2 hr bike ride constitutional myself both days at a somewhat leisurly pace not having riden for some time now due to the adverse weather. Got called in tonite for for the mid shift, midnite to 8am, for a sick collegue. I would probably go into withdrawal if i did not get on a computer at least once a day.

It doesn't matter what your husband is, or even if he is democrat, republican or independent. As long as he is involved, IMHO he is fulfilling his civic duty and responsibility, which at the min is to vote. Like Obama winning in IL as the favorite son, Hilary will win in NY being the favorite daughter in her case. With her stunning NH win, she has proved she is still the party favorite.

Obama's lack of commitment to Asian Ams may not affect him that much, but his lack of concrete plans will. Hope will not change anything w/o plans like Hilary has. I just am suspicious of how indebted Hillary is to the Wall St Corps!

Yes flip food is not the only bad stuff for us, but that's what I mainly ate despite being so Borged by American culture being born and raised here. I already had long ago cut out McDonalds type fast foods and have even began to like the fishbait shashimi that my wife loves. My father would turn over in his recent grave if he knew I liked Jap food. I was saddened to see the golden arches all over Tagbilaran when i visited there in Feb of 05.

I too now have Optimum Triple Play but I'm pissed off at cablevision for cutting back on the bandwidth I had before since i did not include their Online Boost pkg with my Triple play upgrade. I had cablevision since i moved into my house in 89 and was the 1st one on the block to upgrade to digital tv and internet access when it became available. I then added their phone service and HDTV and they cut my bandwidth because it's not part of their basic Triple Play pkg? I will switch my phone and internet to Verizon once they get tv in my hood!

I use to have Verizon non-digital phone service before we added Optimum Voice. My phone was the only one working during the last metro NYC blackout and neighbors flocked over to use it. My WLAN EVDO Rev A service for my laptop is from Verizon since my son got it for me since he works for NJ Verizon. My cell phones are a family plan from T Mobile since that was the cheapest my wife could find.

They are different companies under the same corporation. So my son still gets an employee discount. He has comcast for his internet and tv since Verizon does not have tv rights there yet in southern NJ and uses Vonage for his home voice phone. But his cells are Verizon. I just don't like Verizon's shenanigans trying to control internet bandwidth access...joey
